Terraining Contest #5 - Winter Wonderland [Playable]

[Belgarath]

Gee naze, just your signature picture gives him something to think about. I think you'll actually put an effort into it. (unlike me )

 

[raid1000]

just when i had the upperhand u 2 had to came along ><

 

[Gilles]

I'll get the poll up tomorrow then.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

EDIT: Done with my entry.

NOTE: To all testers, DO NOT look at this entry in the editor. Play it in game. Otherwise you will not get the full effect of the terrain (or even half of it).

hum the intro bugs.. so i can't play on your map D:

 

[Belgarath]

Fail void fails with a fail pathing...

 

[raid1000]

@~Void~ pretty good
just fix teh pathing and the intro and give teh ogre a smaller pathing thing...

 

[2-P]

just fix teh pathing and the intro and give teh ogre a smaller pathing thing...

I set his pathing size down to 31 so I could at least leave the starting area. The problem is that there are so many gaps between the pathing blockers that you can get anywhere on the map.

Have to agree with Belgarath. =/ Drawing paths with pathing blockers is bound to fail. Placing large pathing blockers everywhere you're not supposed to be able to walk is a lot saver.

 

[Naze]

I'll get the poll up tomorrow then.

HEY! Please don't! I'm still working on my entry! D:

I'll hurry up then.

 

[~Void~]

Gilles just let me fix the pathing.

 

[Naze]

Here is a Wip of my entry.

 

[raid1000]

@\Naze awesome!
have a cookie

 

[Belgarath]

I support you naze

 

[~Void~]

Ok, almost done fixing the pathing. I still can't believe nobody just used a flying unit for the tester. x]

EDIT: Finished. Here's my actual final. Remember to view in game not in the editor.

 

[Naze]

Okay, I'm almost done with the terrain, now I only need to set the pathing of the map, something I think I'll do tomorrow...

Anyway, I'll leave you these final WIPs of my almost finished entry (revealing the cool stuff).

 

[~Void~]

It's all pretty nice but it has some rough edges. I won't tell you what they are, though, because that fucked me up last time

 

[Belgarath]

That looks pretty cool, naze.


EDIT: Criteria on void:
Your base terrain was nice enough, everything quite cool, but not 15 seconds into the game, I ran through a bunch of rocks and trees. There's a lot of places with walk through trees or rocks. Your pathing is often inconsistent, ie. sometimes the trees are fully unwalkable, sometimes you can walk through their leaves. There was a lot of strange cut offs on the path - randomly, suddenly. And then, the big icing on the cake was this: I walked straight through the statues, the pillars, everything. The fact that everything is walk through sort of defeats the purpose of "PLAYABLE" - I think that you shouldn't need to make yourself a path with pathing blockers, but just add pathing to some doodads, leave others that don't need it / special occasions.
But yes, it's still fair to have non-pathing shit. But still, your terrain is good, it's (mostly) playable, however I didn't like the fact that you used the lighting to enhance your terrain. It makes it seem that you can't do it without it : \

 

[Gilles]

Alright, I'll get the poll up when Naze finishes.

 

[Nbah]

I'm still working on mine. I would have finished it by now if it weren't for my shitty schedule.
I have to go from 12 AM to 8 PM to school. Anyways, here are some WIP's.

 

[Belgarath]

Looking good. Damn, 12-8? That would suck, real bad...

 

[~Void~]

I didn't like the fact that you used the lighting to enhance your terrain. It makes it seem that you can't do it without it : \

I'm pretty sure you know I can. Also, that's like saying using imports means you can't do it without them... which is not true. I don't see what's wrong with custom lighting; if I made the terrain bad it would still look shit with the lighting.

 

[Naze]

Final Entry

Ok, okay, finally, here is my final entry! \o/

 

[Belgarath]

Nono, it made the terrain seem like .. I dunno, what I said seemed to be the best description I had. The custom lighting makes it seem sort of unnatural. You know? Probably not, but oh well.
BTW, it's still pretty damn good, I'm just pointing out bad things. But that with the ogre running up the mountain.. that was bad.

 

[~Void~]

I'll try to fix that before Gilles cuts off the contest. Whenever that will be (hopefully not in the next 15 minutes )

EDIT: Found the spot where the ogre could pass through the pathing and fixed it. Hopefully it works smoother now.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

have you fixed the place on the right side of the volcano crater.. ? cause the ogre can go there too D:

 

[Belgarath]

Kkk, I like yours 5x better now void

>_______________________>

 

[Nbah]

Can I use a custom rock model? Otherwise, I'm done, just need the approval of the rock and I will upload my map, too.

 

[raid1000]

@\Naze iz nice but for some unknowned reason it laggs when i play on it...
its maybe my wooden pc ^^

 

[Gilles]

I was but I withdrew... unless you mean someone else.

 

[FamousPker49]

He means me.

 

[~Void~]

Your post got edited before you posted it? Lol, nice sig ;]

 

[Gilles]

GO ahead and use it, but I'm a bit worried that he did it without xXm0rph3usXx's permission. I can't remember if he's okay with people editing his stuff.

Famous, oh yeah, forgot.

 

[FamousPker49]

Are you going to close this damn thing soon?

 

[Nbah]

Okay, here's my submission. And a couple of screenshots, yes you can enter the cave in the first screenshot so don't forget to do it xP . Good luck to everyone!

 

[raid1000]

those rocks are kinda meh...

 

[Gilles]

Are you going to close this damn thing soon?

Waiting for nbah. Now It's closed, I'll get the poll up now. If I can.

 

[Gilles]

Bo-ya for double post. Here is the draft for the poll. Did I miss anyone?

[~Void~]

Famous, oh yeah, forgot.

I don't think he would mind. Most people don't mind as long as you don't take credit and don't release it without their permission or anything. He's just using it in a terrain.

 

[Gilles]

Why Bel? I don't think you should.

 

[raid1000]

pls get the poll up D:

 

[Belgarath]

Should withdraw or should judge? Withdraw - cause it was a half assed effort made in half an hour.

 

[Gilles]

If you really want to... I'll get the poll up. I think I can make polls, we'll see.
